We made this dish for an Irish Food night at our Gourmet club. I doctored it slightly by adding around 2 cloves of garlic for the amount of vegatables here. It was absolutely delicious. Most everyone had more than one helping.I was fortunate to have organic and local root vegatables, which I think was important to the flavor of the dish. Given it's minimalist approach, the quality of the veggies makes a big difference. We will definitely be making it again and it will probably become a Thanksgiving staple, replacing the less interesting mashed potatoes.
